You are trying to build with 2.7.1. If you are absolutely sure that the
current compiler is built from the exact same version/revision, you can try
to use OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 to override . Stop.
Yes, so follow those instructions (FPC 2.6.2 will also work as a starting
compiler). If you could give us some tips about how those instructions could
say in a clearer way what you are doing wrongly, please say so.
i don't suppose it would draw their eyes to the phrase "only supported starting
compiler" by making it bright, bold and blinking on the terminal screen, would it ;)
but maybe making that part all CAPS would draw their eyes to it?
perhaps the message is too long and too informative? maybe something like a
bikini (short and to the point) would be better?
eg : Makefile:2704: *** WRONG COMPILER VERSION (2.7.1)! You MUST use 2.6.0 to
compile with. Other compiler versions are not supported! (You might try
"OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1" but NO SUPPORT is given for this if it fails!)
